What's your last knife purchase of the year (2023) ?

[luethge]

Can’t say it’s my last , most recent though. Ban Tang BT4 with a secondary edge - these cut really well.

I’m CPK-less at the moment as I shipped off Ol’ Reliable another forum member that’s been lusting to give the DEK2 a try. I will say I am impressed with this one, however.

Looks like it's gonna be my first Shirogorov. Now the wait.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Stellar has become one of my favorites of all time. It feels like a large Sebenza with all the Shiro magic.

Les George 'Magnate' incoming...

I really like this knife but can't get over my aversion to g10. Can't explain it.

I don’t mind G10 per-say, but MUCH prefer micarta. I will say that on the Magnate, the G10 doesn’t traditionally feel like normal G10, much grippier and less dense feeling.

In the meantime, you can fill that gaping hole in your life with other knives that are almost as good.

My first Shiro was delivered a few days ago but I’m out of town on vacation for another few days .

Nice Gossman!

Nice Gossman!

I love this knife! I’m on the hunt for an S7 Tusker.

Not the last purchased of the year but the last knife I received before Christmas. Came in yesterday.

Jack Wolf Big Bro.

I’m not much for traditional slip joints but this is my second Jack Wolf and man am I impressed with them. Tolerances so tight and the “walk and talk” is amazing.

 

[NWFRS]

Don’t need anything but was thinking of grabbing a Lionsteel fixed blade or another Mike Latham Collectorknives folder. Just a little end-of-year “you deserve this” spiff.

Weiner Warrior in the house!!!!!

 

[Dawkind]

OK…..looks like my last knife purchase for this year was a 70 year old Latama picklock I bought on this forum, should arrive on Tuesday.

A very Merry Christmas to us all and the most prosperous and Happy New Year yet!!!!

AND….the last day of the year is….123123!

I lied….

Agreed. In fact, if I picked it up with my eyes closed, I wouldn't necessarily guess that it's G10. It feels quite good.

Have you handled one? You might be surprised. I'm not much of a fan of G10 scales either, but I like this one.
